UK Games Charts | 31st May 2011

LA Noire held firm at the top of the UK Charts this week, fending off competition from the likes of DIRT 3 which premiered in second place. Rockstar's 1940s crime caper - which we'll have a roundtable review for later today - showed remarkable resilience to maintain its pole position, whereas the likes of Lego: Pirates of the Caribbean dropped to third. Elsewhere, the resilient Zumba Fitness clung on to fourth place, whereas Brink continued its steady decline, dropping from third to fifth.

Wii Sports Resort, Fifa 11 and Call of Duty Black Ops all saw spikes in sales, jumping from thirteenth to sixth, eighth to seventh and tenth to eighth respectively. The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, which slotted into the charts at fifth last week, saw a massive drop, plummeting down to twenty-ninth place. Crysis 2 and Mario Kart Wii polished off the top ten, with the latter ascending thirteen places from twenty-third to tenth.
